At the age of 21 He was called to the office of Senior Pastor and was the Establishmentarian and Lead Pastor of The REACH Church (Refreshing Word Outreach Church International) for over 6 years. He then went on to serve in a multiplicity of capacities under the leadership of his spiritual father, Dr. Darrel W. Blair at the New Breed Christian Center; namely, Youth Pastor, Executive Administrator, and Executive Assistant to the Senior Pastor.
He dutifully served there for a number of years, prior to receiving the blessing and release from his Pastor to establish and launch The Life Center Church in Dallas, TX.

Bishop Mitchell's current role has been both a refining and defining role in the life of his ministry. He has seen and overcome many obstacles during his tenure, and the Lord has tremendously blessed him to continue to make great strides for the Kingdom.
In 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Bishop Mitchell licensed and ordained 6 into the office of Minister and Elder, one of them being his wife, who now serves along side him as the Executive Pastor, and also during this time the ministry was revamped and relocated to Arlington, TX. In the following year on July 19, 2021, Bishop Mitchell was dully consecrated with Apostolic succession into the Office of the Bishop.

Since his consecration, Bishop Mitchell has served in numerous episcopal offices, namely in the offices of Protocol and as Adjutant General. His administrative prowess and excellence in leadership in the area of protocol, has established Bishop Mitchell as a respected authority in the Lord's Church in the areas of ceremonial decorum and execution. In August of 2023, Bishop Mitchell respectfully disjoined with the reformational structure where he had formerly served for over nine years. In May of 2024, the Lord impressed upon Bishop Mitchell's heart to begin to broaden the reach of his local church, and develop an ecclesiastical paradigm that would produce platforms for the cultivation of pastoral leadership to be equipped for modern ministry and marketplace.
As a result the Lord affirmed in Bishop Mitchell's spirit the redeveloping of The Life Center Church Reloaded into a multifaceted, multi phase, and ultimately forthcoming multicampus ministry, which encompassed a rename, rebrand, and relocation. The launch of Christ Culture Church DFW was propelled and the ministry was subsequently relocated to the North Richland Hills area of Tarrant County.
